OT - Frame Rates with GWX

Jimbuna · 12-27-06, 01:39 PM

Probably the best way to raise your FPS would be to install 'Lite Harbor Traffic Mod'

Try updating your drivers, it worked for me.

Hartmann, I found that if I cut the particle density in the SHIII options, my frame rate goes up a lot. I found that I don't miss the smoke that much.

What is the framerate counter key command?

I think it's "Ctrl" & "F8"

It seems that it's a trade off for beauty and performance for the time being - unless you want to splash out on some super kit to get those FPS ratings higher.

I'm quite happy with the detail levels at the moment even though I have the AA settings etc set to the max.

I have an upgrade planned for next Spring, mainly upgrade my mobo, CPU and RAM - hopefully the GPU will be able to handle SHIV, it would be nice to have a rough idea as that game's hardware requirements.

Is there anyone running SH3 & GWX with 2Gb of RAM? Is it worth getting anymore?

I'm running a new E6400 dual core with 1 gig and a 7600 GT OC. The only time I get choppiness is in ports when it first loads, but no other slowdowns or slideshows. I plan to upgrade to 2 gigs soon though.

Ok thanks for the information.

I'm using 2GB (upgraded from 1GB).....it doesn't actually improve anything 'cosmetically'

However, it did improve my loadind speeds by approx. 30%
